Viator Carries 15.6B ISK Into a Deltole Trap
A Viator in Deltole was caught and destroyed in a fast 15.6 billion ISK ambush, with the expensive industrial escaping only partway into the trap before a trio of Mallers from Something Really Pretentious finished the job.
THE CATCH
The loss happened instantly in Deltole, where BobMan Sitar’s Viator was caught in a small engagement that ended with no room for a clean escape. The ship’s 15.6 billion ISK price tag made it the clear prize of the fight, and the result suggests it was exposed long enough for hunters to commit and close in.
THE HUNTERS CLOSE IN
Three pilots from Something Really Pretentious took credit for the kill, all flying Mallers and all involved in the damage. WhatRUdoing Stepsis landed the final blow, while WhatRUdoing Stepdaughter and WhatRUdoing Stepdad helped grind down the target. The symmetry of the attack suggests a coordinated tackle-and-burn effort rather than a lone opportunist stumbling onto an easy target.
THE PRICE OF CARRYING TOO MUCH
The Viator did not go down empty. Among the cargo and fittings that survived the blast were large quantities of SoE NET Resonators, Sisters Expanded Probe Launchers, and Mid-grade Virtue Omega implants, alongside the remains of a Sisters Core Probe Launcher and a Caldari Navy Large Shield Extender. The loss of 11.6 billion ISK in dropped value, with another 4 billion destroyed, makes this more than just a ship kill — it was a costly haul brought to ruin in seconds.
DELTOLE TAKES NOTICE
With six participants involved in all and the fight ending in a single moment, this was a sharp, efficient interception rather than a prolonged brawl. For BoSit Co, the loss of an expensive Viator likely hurts as much for what it was carrying as for the ship itself. For the hunters, it is the sort of prize that rewards patience, discipline, and the willingness to strike when a high-value target briefly slips out of position.
